The Truth You Deserve

You deserve to know the truth about a child’s paternity, and that’s precisely what we provide. Rely on our family lawyers to arrange and coordinate DNA testing or help you establish parentage by judgment.

Child Custody, Visitation, & Parenting Plans

When it comes to spending time with your children, make sure that your rights are protected. Count on us to provide representation at every stage of the process, including emergency services, initial temporary orders, the trial, and post-judgment modifications. We’re here to help you secure the time you want with your kids.

Child Support Orders

Children need to be cared for properly, regardless of what happens between their parents. Typically, proper care means that the custodial parent is entitled to financial support from the noncustodial parent. Rely on one of our child support attorneys to help you create and modify child support orders, including permanent, initial, and temporary orders.

Guardianships

Guardianship proceedings are used when non-parents (including grandparents or close relatives) seek to obtain custody of an abandoned or abused minor. Our paternity law services help these non-parents when the biological parents are disqualified or deemed unfit to provide care.

If you know of an abusive parent situation, call child protective services. Then, contact us to discuss possible guardianship. In the case of child abandonment, we can help you obtain guardianship without involving child protective services.

Stepparent Adoptions

It’s not uncommon for stepparents to adopt their spouse’s children from a previous marriage. These adoptions are possible with the biological parent's consent or if the biological parent hasn’t made contact with the child for one year. Rely on us to represent you through all stages of the adoption process, from the initial investigation to the last piece of paperwork.
